Reviews of Boulder City-Hoover Dam Museum (Museum)

Lillian Thomas

Loved it

David Conlon

Very informative about Hoover Dam, Originally named the Boulder City Dam. The many tons of concrete is mind-boggling. They have a free movie that shows how dangerous it was working there.

Miriam and Moshe Borvick

Quaint and lovely museum. It is a small exhibit but very well made. The museum is interactive and engaging for all ages..

Jarrett Grozier

We Loved it very nice and clean

Kimberly Barber

It seemed kind of basic at first glance but it was well worth it. I have lived here 34 years and toured the dam pre 9/11 so it takes a lot to impress me. There are photos I have never seen and a lot if info on how the wives and children lived. Great place to spend an hour for free!

Suzie Russell - Misso

Go and learn all about the Hoover Dam. Its free and then you can have a great breakfast or lunch right downstairs.

Stacy Norman fam

Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

Claire White

This is a great little hidden museum! I learned a lot about Boulder City that you can't learn at any other Southern Nevada museums. They have these great sound cones that play excerpts from diaries and oral histories. It's interactive for kids--good for families.

Samuel Chambers

Andrew McIntosh

Fantastic little gem in Boulder City.

Deb Barr

James Hensley

This is a small museum in the old Boulder City Hotel. I was impressed with the movie showing the building of Hoover Dam. The displays were wonderful & very informative. It's free, accepts donations & definitely worthy of your time.

Salvador Mendoza

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place (Original) Bonito lugar

Greg Muenzmay

Small but FREE and very informative museum. It is worth checking it out and learning more about the construction of the Hoover Dam and Boulder city.

Morgan Dodge

If you are visiting to see The Hoover Dam and Memorial Bridge definitely take the time to check out the town that built it. Inside Boulder City is The Historic Boulder Dam Hotel with a small but informative museum about the Hoover Dam. Priced so that you can bring the entire family.

Matthias Ristow

Nicely done museum on the way to the dam. Not a waste of time.

Barbara Greenway

Since I am from a railroad town where both of my grandfathers worked for the Pennsylvania railroad and one was an engineer, I loved it. Also loved the Boulder City Hotel.

Was really nice to see how they go the Hoover Dam

Chris Erickson

This is a nice little museum for the price. It also goes over some of history about who constructed the dam.

Jay Gull

Very cool

Thomas Schmid

Haben die große Tour gemacht, war wirklich interessant. Man geht in den Damm rein und sieht die Generatorenhalle. Aber man sollte sich auch nicht zu viel erwarten. Der Guide war ein freundlicher und lustiger älterer Herr. Der vorher gezeigte Film über den Dammbau und den Nutzen ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und schon sehr "euphorisch", keine objektive Sicht auch auf die Probleme des Damms.

Catherine Harvey

Very quaint historic town

Jennifer Brown

Very nice display!

Jay A. Nagle 3

Loved it

Lee-Ann Walker

Beautiful cozy atmosphere. Museum tells you how important this dam means and how much this dam means to this world and society. They contribute us so much even till this date. Without this dam there wound not be any electricity or civilization like we have. There’s some art exhibition and all free. It makes you feel at home. You can visit this museum on the way to actual Hoover dam if you are on the way home in AZ from Vegas.

Kimberly Wright

Everything we did, well, it was so much fun.

icy garrett

Osvaldo Rancez

Very nice place. And it's free.

Franco Mongili

Nice place

Bob Jeffers

I can't believe that this museum is free! This actually tells you more than the exhibitions at the dam. Much more informative and historic from inception thru to completion and beyond. Truly great place, do NOT miss it!!

Richard G

Tells a vivid story

Ed West

After moving away 20 years ago and coming back to show our children where we grew up , my husband and I were so happy to see how well this hotel is being cared for. It was in very poor condition in the 90s. The mini Museum about the construction of the dam is a lot of fun. Definitely worth the stop if you are traveling from Las Vegas to see the dam

Karl Perry

Very informative. Worth the time.

Joyce Morrison

Terrific history of Boulder City and the building of the dam

John Calvert

When you think of Boulder City, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, Hoover Dam. The 2nd is the Boulder City Museum and Historic Hotel. An absolute treasure and landmark that anchors the historic district of Boulder City. Free museum, a great restaurant, knowledgeable and friendly staff along with a lobby that whisks you back in time with its captivating and inviting layout. It's always a great place to relax between stops while touring this historic town.

Ron Farkas

Good home cooking... Good service... Would go back

Aiden Martinez

Guess others might find this interesting but it was a waste of time for me.

Renata Hickey

Small, intimate museum depicting the life and time of the workers, who the built the remarkable Hoover Dam. The quotes and descriptions of their tiny houses, built specifically for them, was my favorite, i.e., "If you sneezed, you're house would fall down." A quality, quick place to bring the family. An adorable gift shop, as well, rounds out this Museum.

Be Happy!!!

Very nice!!

Eniko Timar

I did not see it but I heard is beautiful and when I was there it was hundreds of people visiting in a weekday so we couldn't get into the museumpart.

Andy Moore

Lovely older colonial style hotel with comfortable simple rooms in a historically significant area of Nevada. Flat screens, most channels, quiet programmable in-wall Japanese-made a/c units... Nice fireplace sitting area. Good selection of breakfast choices. Museum on-site. 100 meters to restaurants, coffee and curio shops. Free parking (shady until 10 am in summer). Staff polite and helpful. Only 20 min easy drive at any time of the day to the LV strip. 10 min to Hoover Dam site. Most stores and facilities close by 9-10 pm, so eat in Vegas before returning late. Charming and highly recommended.

Joseph O'Leary

Klein maar onverwacht interessant

Donna Russell

Food was comfort type food and good enough but the service was horribly slow. Once we got our food, no one came to our table to refill drinks or check on us. I had to go ask for my bill!

Julia Huang

Charles Stigger

Interesting experience. This museum displays a lot of the local history of this area and city. Self guided tour. And, even better, since it's also a hotel u can see it anytime 24/7. This is an attraction definitely worth seeing if you find yourself nearby.

Zhigang Zhu

非常棒的小镇，博物馆本身就能住，很赞

Tina Barnes

Very informative

David White

Cool place to visit if you haven't.

Mia maven

The most beautifully kept and restored historic hotel. I used to go to all the Hollywood memorabilia shops in here weekly. They had the best vintage jewelry and interesting collection of little stores selling old Hollywood glam lingerie. Sadly that was 20 year ago and this weekend I went to find just 1 thing open inside and that's the hoover dam museum. The museum is nice and interactive which is great for kids. The boulder city historic hotel will always have a special place in my heart. It's still worth checking out, sign the ledger and donate few dollars to help keep the hotel alive.

Nicholas Kasper

Really enjoyed, worth the trip

Steve Barnson, Ph.D

An amazing learning experience. Every southern Nevadan must go through the tour.

STEPHEN JANDECKA

A nice little Museum located in Boulder City with a lot of history pertaining to the Hoover Dam. I must-see while visiting the Hoover Dam. The museum also has a spectacular gift shop with great pricing.

BELLA

(Translated by Google) Very interesting and nice museum. The village of BOULDER charming

Dave Penczek

Very, very well done laced with important history

Oleg K

Nice

Thomas Steele

This hotel and museum is the place to be seen, and for casual dining in its rustic restaurant and lounge. It is historically significant nationally, and forever tied to Hoover Dam. Close to old town antique shops, it's a great place for rest and recreation away from the Las Vegas strip. Suggest overnight or weekend stay at the hotel. Highly recommended.

David Y

Good information that I didn't hear at the Dam itself. You should go here if you go to the Dam too

Patrick A. Hall

This is not the museum at the dam. This is a very small museum at the back of the Boulder dam hotel. That said, it was fun and informative and very cheap ($2).

ASL Sarah
